Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a zoom lens accordinging to the preamble of claim 1, which is suitably used for a TV camera, still camera, or the like and properly uses aspherical surfaces as some parts in a lens system to have a large aperture, high power, and good optical performance throughout the entire magnification range.
  • a zoom lens is required to have various aberrations, such as astigmatism, distortion, chromatic aberration of magnification, corrected, and have high optical performance throughout the frame, and high magnification ratio.
  • the zoom lens is also required to be compact and lightweight.
  • a so-called 4-unit zoom lens can relatively easily have high magnification ratio and large aperture and is often used as a zoom lens for a broadcasting color TV camera.
  • This zoom lens is made up of a first lens unit having a positive refracting power and used for focusing, second lens unit having a negative refracting power and used for magnifying operation, third lens unit having a positive refracting power and used to correct variations in image surface with magnifying operation, and fourth lens unit for imaging. These lens units are arranged in the order named from the object side.
  • the lens system adopts an arrangement for increasing the refracting power of each lens unit. If, however, the negative power of the second lens unit for magnifying operation and the positive power of the third lens unit are increased to attain reductions in the size and weight of the lens system by saving the space for the magnifying portion, a problem is posed in terms of variations in aberration upon zooming. Spherical aberration, astigmatism, and halo/coma, in particular, greatly vary, resulting in great deterioration in optical performance. Variations in the aberrations due to zooming become more noticeable as the lens system has a higher zoom ratio and speed of lens becomes faster. For this reason, various methods of correcting aberration variations due to magnifying operation have been proposed.
  • JP-A-6-59191 discloses a zoom lens according to the preamble of claim 1 which is a 4-unit zoom lens, as a zoom lens having an f-number of about 1.6 to 1.8, large aperture with a magnification ratio of about 18 to 40, and high power, which is made up of a first lens unit having a fixed positive refracting power in magnifying operation, second lens unit having a negative refracting power which is variable in magnifying operation, third lens unit having a positive refracting power and used to correct variations in imaging plane due to magnifying operation, and a fourth lens unit having a positive refracting power and used for imaging. These lens units are arranged in the order named from the object side. In this zoom lens, an aspherical surface shaped to increase the positive refracting power is formed in the third lens unit.
  • JP-A-8-82741 discloses a 4-unit zoom lens, as a zoom lens having an f-number of about 1.6, large aperture with a magnification ratio of about 40, and high power, which is made up of a first lens unit having a fixed positive refracting power in magnifying operation, second lens unit having a negative refracting power which is variable in magnifying operation, third lens unit having a positive refracting power and used to correct variations in imaging plane due to magnifying operation, and a fourth lens unit having a positive refracting power and used for imaging. These lens units are arranged in the order named from the object side. In this zoom lens, a flare-cut stop is disposed between the second and third lens units.
  • a zoom lens In a zoom lens, to obtain high optical performance throughout the entire magnification range with an f-number of about 1.5 to 1.8, large aperture, and a magnification ratio of about 18 to 50, the refracting powers of the respective lens units, the arrangement of lenses, aberration sharing, and achromatic sharing, and the like must be properly set.
  • the degree of freedom in aberration correction must be increased by increasing the number of lens elements constituting each lens unit. For this reason, when a zoom lens with a high aperture ratio and high magnification ratio is to be realized, the number of lenses inevitably increases, resulting in an increase in the overall size of the lens system.
  • JP-A-6-59191 is effective in reducing variations spherical aberration accompanying magnifying operation, and more specifically, variations in spherical aberration on the telephoto side. With this arrangement, however, aberration variations near the intermediate focal length cannot be satisfactorily reduced.
  • the technique disclosed in JP-A-8-82741 is designed to remove aberration variations near the intermediate focal length, and more specifically, halo/coma, by using the flare-cut stop. This technique has drawbacks, e.g., requiring a complicated mechanism.
  • the refracting power of each lens unit and lens configuration must be properly set.
  • the zoom lens obtains good optical performance by providing a predetermined aspherical surface at a predetermined position in a third lens unit.
  • Figs. 1 to 8 are sectional views of the first to eighth embodiments at the wide-angle end.
  • Each embodiment includes a first lens unit L1 having a fixed positive refracting power in magnifying operation, second lens unit L2 having a variable negative refracting power in magnifying operation, third lens unit L3 having a positive refracting power and used to correct image surface variations accompanying magnifying operation, and fourth lens unit L4 having a positive refracting power and used for imaging.
  • These lens units are arranged in the order named from the object side.
  • an intermediate focal length fm fw ⁇ z 1 / 2 where fw is the wide-angle focal length, and z is the magnification ratio.
  • an aspherical surface shaped to decrease a positive refracting power or increase a negative refracting power is provided at a surface that satisfies 1 ⁇ h ⁇ 3 ⁇ ⁇ / h ⁇ 3 where h3 is the height at which an on-axial marginal ray passes, and h3' is the height at which an off-axial marginal ray that is formed into an image at the maximum image height passes.
  • the first lens unit L1 has a positive refracting power for focusing. The whole or part of the first lens unit L1 is moved to perform focusing.
  • the second lens unit L2 is a variator lens unit having a negative refracting power and used for magnifying operation. Magnifying operation from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end is performed by monotonously moving the second lens unit L2 toward the image surface on the optical axis.
  • the third lens unit L3 is a compensator lens unit having a positive refracting power and used to correct image surface variations accompanying magnifying operation. When magnifying operation is performed from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, the third lens unit L3 is nonlinearly moved toward the object.
  • the second and third lens units L2 and L3 constitute a magnifying system, which performs magnifying operation by using a range including an imaging magnification of x -1 (one-to-one).
  • This zoom lens includes a stop SP.
  • the fourth lens unit L4 is a relay unit having a positive refracting power and used for imaging.
  • the zoom lens also has a glass block G, which is a color separation prism, optical filter, or the like.
  • variations in aberrations accompanying magnifying operation are properly corrected by providing an aspherical surface shaped to decrease a positive refracting power or increase a negative refracting power at at least one surface of a lens element of the compensator lens unit as the third lens unit L3 which has a positive refracting power. This allows the zoom lens to have good optical performance throughout the entire magnification range.
  • Figs. 9A to 9C through 24A to 24C are graphs showing longitudinal and lateral aberrations. More specifically, Figs. 9A , 10A , 11A , 12A , 13A , 14A , 15A , 16A , 17A , 18A , 19A , 20A , 21A , 22A , 23A and 24A show aberrations at the wide-angle end, Figs. 9B , 10B , 11B , 12B , 13B , 14B , 15B , 16B , 17B , 18B , 19B , 20B , 21B , 22B , 23B and 24B show aberrations at the substantially intermediate focal length position, and Figs.
  • each graph shows a sagittal ray S and meridional ray M.
  • an off-axial marginal ray b travels outside an on-axial marginal ray a at the intermediate focal length position given by equation (1) and the focal length positions before and after the intermediate focal length position, as in the first embodiment shown in Fig. 26 . Since the hatched portion of the off-axial marginal ray passes through widely below the on-axial marginal ray, it is difficult to correct halo/coma. This makes it difficult to attain high performance. For this reason, such an aberration is corrected by providing an aspherical surface that satisfies condition (2).
  • the third lens unit L3 is preferably made up of at least three convex lenses and at least one concave lens and satisfies the following conditions: 0.5 ⁇ f ⁇ 3 / D ⁇ 3 ⁇ 1.5 1.45 ⁇ n ⁇ 3 ⁇ 1.65 55 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 3 ⁇ 85
  • f3 is the focal length of the third lens unit L3
  • D3 is the maximum aperture
  • n3 is the average refractive index of each convex lens
  • v3 is the average Abbe's number of the convex lenses.
  • Conditions (3), (4), and (5) define the configuration of the third lens unit L3. If the third lens unit L3 does not hold conditions (3), (4), and (5), it is difficult to correct the balance between a spherical aberration and an off-axial aberration and variations in longitudinal chromatic aberration and lateral chromatic aberration.
  • the second and third lens units L2 and L3 move in directions to reduce the distance therebetween, i.e., the second and third lens units respective monotonously move toward the image surface side and object side, in magnifying operation from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end.
  • the following conditions are preferably satisfied: 1.6 ⁇ m ⁇ 2 / m ⁇ 3 ⁇ 3.0 0.3 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 2 / ⁇ ⁇ 3 ⁇ 1.2
  • m2 and m3 are the total moving amounts of the second and third lens units L2 and L3 from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, and ⁇ 2 and ⁇ 3 are the lateral magnifications at the wide-angle end.
  • Conditions (6) and (7) define the balance between the refracting powers of the second and third lens units L2 and L3 constituting a zooming portion. With a zooming portion deviating from conditions (6) and (7), the refracting power of one lens unit becomes extremely higher than that of the other lens unit. This makes it more difficult to correct aberrations. In addition, the refracting powers of the first and fourth lens units L1 and L4 become extremely high. For this reason, it becomes difficult to correct variations in various aberrations in the entire magnification range and entire object distance range when the magnification ratio is to be increased.
  • halo/coma is properly corrected in spite of the fact that the underside off-axial marginal ray passes through widely by the (sub) principal ray, at the substantially intermediate focal length position (in each of Figs. 10B , 12B , 14B , 16B , 18B , 20B , 22B and 24B ), in particular, up to the maximum image height in comparison with the on-axial ray.
  • variations in various aberrations from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end are slight, i.e., are properly corrected.
  • aberrations are properly corrected by providing aspherical surfaces at both a surface close to the object side and a surface close to the stop in the third lens unit L3, although the arrangement of the third lens unit L3 in the third embodiment is simpler than that in the second embodiment.
  • an aspherical surface shaped to reduce a negative refracting power is formed in the second lens unit L2.
  • the off-axial marginal ray passes through outside the on-axial marginal ray b as in the third lens unit L3.
  • the fourth embodiment can correct barrel distortion more properly than the first embodiment, and also correct other aberration variations properly.
  • the fifth embodiment exemplifies the case wherein the refracting power of the third lens unit L3 is increased, and the moving amount of the third lens unit L3 is set to be small relative to the third lens unit L3. If the refracting power of the third lens unit L3 is further increased to exceed the upper limit defined by condition (6), the aberration variation caused in the third lens unit L3 is difficult to correct.
  • the refracting power of the third lens unit L3 is reduced, and the moving amount of the third lens unit L3 is set to be larger than that of the second lens unit L2. If the refracting power of the third lens unit L3 is further reduced below the lower limit defined by condition (6), the refracting power of the first lens unit L1 tends to increase as the refracting power of the third lens unit L3 decreases. This makes it difficult to correct aberrations on the telephoto end, in particular. That is, this arrangement is not appropriate.
  • the seventh embodiment attains higher zoom ratio than other embodiments described above.
  • the magnification ratio is 50 times higher than that in the seventh embodiment.
  • the off-axial marginal ray which is formed into an image at the maximum image height at the substantially intermediate focal length position, passes through below the on-axial marginal ray throughout all the surfaces in the third lens unit L3. All the surfaces in the third lens unit L3 meet condition (2).
  • the performance of the zoom lens is decreased by decreasing the zoom ratio, increasing the f-number at the telephoto end with respect to the f-number at the wide-angle end, i.e., increasing amount of the F drop, the surfaces begin to deviate from condition (2), starting from the surface nearest to the stop SP. If an aspherical surface is provided at a surface holding no condition (2), a satisfactory effect cannot be obtained.
  • an aspherical surface is provided at the lens element of the third lens unit L3 which is nearest to the object but may be provided at the second or subsequent lens element from the object side.
  • an aspherical surface is not suitable for correcting off-axial aberrations because the difference between the positions where on-axial and off-axial ray pass decreases.
  • these surfaces are preferably formed at positions as distant from each other as possible for the sake of aberration correction.
  • the aspherical surfaces are provided at one or two surfaces of the third lens unit L3 and one surface of the second lens unit L2. As is obvious, however, if aspherical surfaces are provided at more surfaces including the first and fourth lens units L1 and L4, aberrations can be corrected more properly.
  • R is the paraxial radius of curvature
  • A, B, C, D, and E are aspherical surface coefficients.
  • ri represents the radius of curvature of the ith lens surface from the object side; di, the interval between the thickness of the ith lens and the air; and ni and vi, the refractive index and Abbe's number of the ith lens from the object.
  • "*" represents an aspherical surface.
  • zoom lens of the present invention in a so-called 4-unit zoom lens, aspherical surfaces having appropriate shapes are provided for a third lens unit for correcting variations in image surface upon zooming operation and second lens unit for zooming operation, and refracting powers and the like are properly set for the respective lens units, thereby reducing variations in halo/coma accompanying zooming operation.
  • variations in spherical aberration, astigmatism, and the like can be properly corrected, and high optical performance throughout the entire zoom range, an f-number of about 1.5 to 1.8 at the wide-angle end, and a large aperture with a high zoom ratio of about 18 to 50 can be attained.
